Good morning,

I wanted to share Jaime Donally’s ARVRinEDU Advent Calendar.  It started December 1st, and she is featuring one AR/VR experience a day.  This is the Day 4 email, but you can click on her blog link here or below to get to the main advent page with access to the past three days of experiences.

Enjoy!

DAY 4 - MEXICO

VIEW THIS AR EXPERIENCE ON THE ARVRinEDU ADVENT CALENDAR

 

In Mexico, the holiday season is a time of joy and celebration that begins on December 12th and lasts until January 6th. One of the most iconic symbols of Christmas in Mexico is the La Flor de Nochebuena, also known as the poinsettia. The La Flor de Nochebuena is a bright red plant that is native to Mexico and was originally used by the Aztecs for its medicinal properties. According to legend, a young girl named Pepita was too poor to buy a gift to bring to the nativity scene at her church. She was inspired by an angel to gather weeds on her way to the church and place them at the altar. As she did so, the weeds miraculously transformed into the beautiful red flowers we know today as poinsettias.
